Join us at our Doc Is In Speaker Series!

Our March topic will be Colorectal Cancer Is Preventable: What Our Community Needs to Know Now
Presented by Jamila Wynter, M.D.
Gastroenterologist with Riverside Gastroenterology Specialists

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers through regular, on time screening, and it’s also very treatable when detected early. Yet, it’s now the leading cause of cancer related deaths in adults under age 50. Join Dr. Jamila Wynter, a fellowship-trained, board-certified gastroenterologist, for a lifesaving conversation about early detection, prevention and what you can do to reduce your risk of developing colorectal cancer.
 
You’ll learn when to begin screening, which methods are right for you and how to recognize key risk factors and warning signs.
